Legend
I was goin' through the pictures on an evening flight
You and I we were ready to take on the ends
We had hardly lived a season--I laughed all night
At the way we thought ourselves such veterans

But we've known seasons to pass us by these days
You swore off kids, I see you disavowed
If they do what we did, you'll be a rat in a maze
And I swear up and down that I'll try not to laugh out loud

Gazing through the stained-glass view of time
You've become a legend in my mind

The road is getting' longer, and it's stretchin' out behind us
The sands of time blow in our eyes, but we won't let them blind us
And like an old black and white, you run my antics by me
If I'm goin' any higher, they'll have to fly me

Gazing through the stained-glass view of time
You've become a legend in my mind
We've seen a million days go by
But we can stop the motion if we try
I thought the winds of change would blow it all away
But I'm a legend in your mind
And you in mine

Here's to our space in time that never ends
This tie that binds on not a thing depends
And the days keep rollin' on--we've got to keep our stride
But I could not forget you even if I tried

Gazing through the stained-glass view of time
You've become a legend in my mind
We've seen a million come and go
Let's find our way to where the wheels are turning slow
I thought the hands of time would wipe it all away
But I'm a legend in your mind
And you in mine

Gazing through the stained-glass view of time
You've become a legend in my mind
We'll find a bridge to keep us dry
And watch tomorrow¹s waters rushing by
I thought the rain and tide would wash it all away
But I'm a legend in your mind
And you in mine
